Chen Pingping and Xu Bo'an usually ate together. When Xu Bo'an sent Lu Yan out, Chen Pingping happened to go back to the kitchen.
Xu Boan came back after seeing off Lu Yan. He subconsciously sat down in his seat, picked up the bowl of rabbit soup in front of him and started drinking directly.
When you drink it, you will not only have the same aroma just now, but also a light fragrance.
Xu Bo'an pursed his lips slightly, savoring the fragrance in his mouth, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some red marks on the small blue and white porcelain bowl, and he didn't know whether it was spices or blood stains.
Before Uncle Xu could tell what it was, he heard a soft sound of "Yeah" coming from the side.
Xu Boan raised his head and looked around, and saw Chen Pingping holding the same blue and white porcelain bowl, standing there in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Xu An'an asked subconsciously.
Chen Pingping looked a little unnatural, raised her arm, pointed at the soup bowl in Xu Boan's hand with a green finger, and explained in a somewhat uneasy tone: "The... thing in your hand The bowl... is mine. This is your bowl. I went into the kitchen to help you get some hot soup."
Xu Bo'an felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then suddenly realized.
The red stain on the rim of the bowl turned out to be not contamination or blood stains at all, but the lipstick on Chen Pingping's lips stained on the rim of the bowl.
Xu Bo'an said hurriedly and apologetically: "I'm sorry, I came in from outside and subconsciously sat here..."
Chen Pingping covered her mouth and said: "It's nothing, I just added some to my bowl of soup. You don’t feel uncomfortable drinking other ingredients.”
“Ah, no. What ingredients did you add?” Xu Bo’an blinked, thinking about it again. Drinking medicine” scene.
It can’t be true.
Chen Pingping said submissively: "It's nothing, it's just that I cooked some red dates and wolfberry soup before, and added things like angelica and astragalus in it. It just fits in with this rabbit meat soup. The taste is great. Pretty good.”
When Xu Boan heard it, he understood instantly.
The medicinal herbs Chen Pingping mentioned are all good for nourishing qi and nourishing the blood. When making soup, it is common to add red dates and wolfberry, but most people will never specialize in angelica and astragalus. Bought for storage.
The combination of these things is definitely a dietary supplement during the period of aunty!
So, Chen Pingping’s relatives are here!
This is embarrassing. It was an unintentional act, a casual question, and the whole person's privacy was revealed.
Xu Bo'an didn't know how to resolve the awkward atmosphere, but the phone rang at the right time.
This call came at the perfect time.
Xu Boan immediately decided that even if the other party was calling for sales, he would have to pick up the call and pretend to leave before hanging up to avoid embarrassment.
After answering the phone quickly, Xu Boan instantly regretted it.
While using muscle memory to slide the answer button, Xu Boan discovered that the caller was actually his ex-wife Qi Xiaoxue!
"Xu Bo'an, what do you mean? I can't even get in through the door of your company, right?" Qi Xiaoxue asked aggressively on the phone.
Xu Boyan suddenly felt bored, but he still kept his expression unchanged and casually said: "What? Is there such a thing? I don't know."
Qi Xiaoxue snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "Huh, you are pretending to be stupid or stupid. It's not like I don't know. You are now the actual controller of your second company. I think you are targeting me deliberately, right?"< br>
Xu Boan stood up with his mobile phone and continued to talk nonsense: "What? To sign the contract, I have to sign it myself?"
Qi Xiaoxue on the other end of the phone was furious. Shouted: "What are you talking about? I just entered the gate and need to sign a contract? Are you sick?"
Xu Bo'an continued to act and said: "What? You are still in a hurry to go to the hospital to see a doctor."
Qi Xiaoxue said angrily: "You just went to the hospital to see a doctor, curse me, right?"
Xu Bo'an looked as usual, She didn't seem to hear Qi Xiaoxue's words, and said to herself: "Okay, okay, I understand, my health is important, then I will go over now, you wait for a while."
Qi Xiaoxue said angrily: "Wait a minute. , Stop pretending to me and ask the security guard at the door to let me go!"
Faced with Qi Xiaoxue's words, Xu Bo'an did not continue to answer.
After saying those pretentious words just now, Xu Bo'an covered the phone and whispered to Chen Pingping beside him: "The company has an emergency and I have to go back. You can eat first, no need. Wait for me."
Chen Pingping nodded obediently and said: "Okay, drive slower on the road!"
Xu Bo'an nodded and waved: "Yes, I understand."
After saying that, Xu Boan left immediately to avoid further embarrassment here.
Chen Pingping on the other end of the phone saw that Xu Boan didn't speak for a long time and was about to shout hysterically when she heard a cold computer-synthesized voice coming over. It was obvious that the other party had hung up the phone.
"Asshole, Xu Bo'an, you dare to hang up on me." With anger in her heart, Chen Pingping called Xu Bo'an again. Xu Boan hung up directly without any delay.
When I answered the phone just now, I had no choice but to find a reason to leave Chen Pingping's presence through the operation of answering the phone, so as to avoid the embarrassment between the two of them.
At this moment, Qi Xiaoxue is so annoyed with herself, but Xu Boan is no longer too lazy to argue with her to affect his mood.
After hanging up another call from Qi Xiaoxue, Xu Bo'an simply added Qi Xiaoxue's mobile phone number to the blacklist and set up the blacklist rejection mode.
Soon, Qi Xiaoxue's call was dialed again, but she got the same prompt tone of "the other party is on the call, please call again later."
After Qi Xiaoxue called again several times, she finally realized that she had been blocked.
Qi Xiaoxue angrily threw her cell phone on the armrest box aside, slapped the steering wheel hard, and the car horn made a loud sound.
Qi Xiaoxue shouted angrily: "Asshole, Xu Bo'an, you are such a bitch, you are so capable, and you dare to block me."
Qi Xiaoxue's mother was sitting in the passenger seat Seeing Qi Xiaoxue's state, Zhao Hongxia sighed and said: "Oh, it's really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. This is a mess. Who would have thought that Xu Bo'an could be so good at it?
But Chen Dewei, he is too unreliable. Now he has screwed us up. What should we do with such a huge mortgage? Xiaoxue, think about it again, is there any other way? "
Qi Xiaoxue looked at her mother Zhao Hongxia helplessly and said, "Okay, Mom, please stop talking about this. I also know how to find a way. Isn't that what I'm thinking about? Just stop bothering me. "
Zhao Hongxia said matter-of-factly: "Oh, I'm worried about you too. Why is this boy Chen Dewei so unreliable? He is too good at pretending. He bought a house and was very attentive. He spent a long time buying a house and took out so many loans. You have to pay them back. This is a serious matter. Can't we lose my wife and lose our troops? Why were you so confused in the first place? "
Qi Xiaoxue was already very angry. At this time, amidst Zhao Hongxia's nagging, she scratched her hair a little violently and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Okay! Can you please stop talking? Don’t you think I’m annoying enough? I'm confused! It wasn't you who said that you ate more salt than I ate rice. This guy Chen Dewei must be reliable. He comes only once in a thousand years, so let me take advantage of it. "
Zhao Hongxia also shouted unhappily: "What are you shouting at me? I didn't lie to you. Aren't I worried for you too? I was also deceived by Chen Dewei at the beginning. Don't I wish you well? I'm your mother. I'm not just watching you default on your mortgage loan and almost become an old man. I'm afraid that you..."
Qi Xiaoxue interrupted Zhao Hongxia and said, "Are you worried about me? Are you anxious for me just by talking about it? How about you help me pay off the mortgage? Don't just complain! "
Zhao Hongxia looked a little unnatural and said: "Money, money, money, you know money! Don't you know how to feel sorry for me? I followed you all the way here to find Xu Boan, wasn't it because I was worried about you? Doesn't care have to be measured in terms of money? "
A sneer appeared at the corner of Qi Xiaoxue's mouth, and she said: "Haha, didn't you already tell me, if I don't pay back the money now, I will soon become a deadbeat. Why don't you just help me? Is it okay if I borrow your money? I can just pay you back later when I have the money. "
Zhao Hongxia's eyes dodge around, and she said with some displeasure: "What are you thinking about? It's not like you don't know the situation of our family. Your brother is already so old, and he hasn't even bought the house yet. You How dare you open this mouth. "
Hearing Zhao Hongxia's words, Qi Xiaoxue was instantly ignited with anger and shouted: "Why am I so embarrassed? I am your child too, right? Why do you keep talking about me as my brother? Could it be that he is the only child in our family?
Ever since he was little, he has always given priority to food, fun, and clothes. I won’t go into that! Now I'm asking you to help me repay some of the loan. I'm just borrowing money from you, and I'm not asking for it in vain. You are so unwilling to co-write it because I am not your biological child! "
Zhao Hongxia was not happy when she saw her daughter actually shouting at her, and immediately condemned: "What does this have to do with whether you are biological or not? You are so old, why are you embarrassed to chew on your old age? Isn’t it enough that I don’t ask you for money to help me with my retirement?
Look at your Aunt Wang next door. Her daughter gives him 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses. Three thousand! One hundred a day, people happily spend money every day, they can’t spend it all, they can’t spend it all!
And my best friend, your Aunt Su, you also know that her daughter is studying abroad, but do you know that in addition to going to school, the girls there also work by themselves and wash dishes? I always give hundreds or even thousands of red envelopes to your Aunt Su during the holidays. Your Aunt Su is cheerful every day and shows off to everyone. She is also her biological daughter, right? Do you know how envious I am? "
Qi Xiaoxue's eyes widened and she said with an unkind expression: "Mom, I won't be happy if you say that. Let's not say how much money Aunt Wang's daughter next door gives her mother every month. True or false, after all, she likes to brag, and that’s what you told me.
Let’s just talk about the things they gave her daughter. Remember it! The house their daughter lives in was purchased jointly with the man when her family contributed half of the money, and the dowry was a full 880,000 yuan.
Not to mention the situation of Aunt Su. Aunt Su divorced early and saved all the money she saved to support her daughter's study abroad. You told me at that time that the tuition and living expenses for a year would add up. It’s nearly 200,000. Even if there are 100 festivals in a year, and a red envelope of 1,000 yuan is given for each festival, it will only be 100,000 yuan a year. What's more, the number of important festivals in the year is only that number, and it only costs 10,000 yuan!
As for me, when I got married I didn’t even have a penny for dowry, and you told me that dowries are not popular here! But why do others have it?
And you withheld all the 200,000 yuan that Xu Bo'an gave me as a bride price. Even the 30,000 yuan for our woman's homecoming wedding, you asked Xu Bo'an for it. of. I only found out about this after I got married!
Even all the gifts we received at the homecoming banquet, you said you were counting them for us, but they have never been returned to me. Most of them are repayments for the money I gave away. ! Let's be fair, whether it's the Aunt Wang next door you mentioned or your best friend Aunt Su, if these things are added together, do their children give as much money as I give you? ”
Zhao Hongxia said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Are you settling a score with me? Are you accusing me? You are really going too far. You think Xu An is better now, right? Then you didn't get divorced in the first place. Now that I'm done with it, you regret it again, can you have some backbone?"
Qi Xiaoxue laughed in anger, pointed at herself and said, "I have no backbone, even me. My own mother doesn’t even help me anymore, where do I have the backbone! If I can’t repay the loan, I will become a person subject to execution. You won’t let go even if I borrow some money from you, and you keep urging me to come over and talk to Xu Bo’an. Yes.
Don’t you think I’m embarrassed if I want to come? There’s nothing I can do about it! Speaking of divorce, you were the one who kept encouraging me to divorce him. You said Chen Dewei is so good, but Xu Boyan is so rubbish. Now, judging from your tone, I’m afraid you are the one who regrets it more!”
Zhao Hongxia retorted confidently: “What did you say? It’s all your fault for getting divorced!” No matter how old you are, you have to blame me for your own marriage problems. Do you think I will care about you for the rest of your life even if I am your mother for one day?
I persuaded you to divorce at the beginning, but then You said how dissatisfied you are with Xu Boan, how friendly Chen Dewei is to you, and how promising Chen Dewei is, but now you don’t mention anything and blame all these things on me! If the business is good, I have to be responsible for it?”
Qi Xiaoxue said with a disappointed face: “Yes, I am not satisfied with Xu Bo’an, and I deserve the divorce. Just look at it! Let me make a joke. If I can make you happy, it can be regarded as my filial piety."
Seeing that Qi Xiaoxue's attitude had softened, Zhao Hongxia stopped shouting and complained softly: "What are you talking about? I want to see it. Are you kidding? Aren’t I feeling the same as you?”
Qi Xiaoxue sneered: “Haha, don’t feel bad. You still have a good life to live. It’s different for me. "I've been such a failure in my life. I don't want to live anymore."
Suddenly, Qi Xiaoxue started the car and stepped on the accelerator.
Zhao Hongxia suddenly panicked: "What are you doing! What are you going to do!"
Before Zhao Hongxia could finish speaking, the car suddenly rushed out, and the security guard at the door was dumbfounded. (End of this chapter)
